On Aging, Fashionably

This video is absolutely brilliant.

In a culture that celebrates youthful beauty to almost a state of panicked fetishism, seeing these confident, fashionable, expressive, creative and intelligent older women proudly displaying their style in spite of (and inspired by) their age is such a revelation. You don’t have to relegate yourself to standard “old lady clothes” and become this dreary reminder that we are in fact mortal and that if we’re lucky, we get wrinkles, slow down, and die. You can remain vibrant, active, evolving, inspired and constantly maintaining that sense of FUN that somehow is often only portioned for the earlier years.
